A Noise Within offers closed captioning
at select performances via GalaPro

PASADENA, Calif (May 9, 2024) — A Noise Within is delighted to be the first regional theater in Southern California to offer access to closed captioning at select performances using GalaPro.

The GalaPro app (available on iOS and Android devices) provides closed captions for patrons to view on their own mobile devices. GalaPro operates on a closed internal network via “airplane mode,” preventing sounds, texts and emails from disturbing other patrons during use.

The service was rolled out at A Noise Within during closing weekend of the company’s most recent production, King Hedley II. Audience member Virlyn Grant, who lives with hearing loss, was able to give it try.

“GalaPro is outstanding,” Grant says. “I didn’t miss a minute of the show.”

GalaPro is available at A Noise Within thanks to funding from the Perenchio Foundation. Audiences will be able to experience GalaPro during performances of Misalliance on Saturday, June 8 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, June 9 at 2 p.m.
